An inventory-heavy operating model is rebuilding earnings through gross-margin repair and expense control rather than higher sales.
Across the last three fiscal years, cumulative net income was about-$4.0M while operating cash flow reached$75.3M , so the business generated cash even though reported earnings across the cycle barely broke even. That helps explain why FY2025 could post slightly higher gross profit at$145.7M even as revenue fell5.9% from FY2024: the rebound came from margin repair and leaner overhead, not from selling more.
